S&S Cycle - Vintage Motorcycle TECH TALK

Pretty much anything not covered by the topics above. Short lived production bikes or vehicles, Electrical, Tires, Paint, Brakes, etc. Use this for tech questions, and "Shoot the Bull" for general conversation, no tech.

Cool, check it out: a civilian XA. This is a period photo. I don't believe it came from the factory, probably some guy who set it up this way. I usually think XA models are butt ugly but this one is really nice.

Some one told me ( I cant Remember who) that after the war Harley started to buy back the XA spares so that the could market the XA as a civilian Bike, then lost interest in the project. maybe this is one of their prototypes??
